A fun take on an annual project to keep track of the weather for the year. Knit on the bias, in a ripple pattern, with a divider between months that will change the direction of the ripples month to month, with an option to add beads to the divider. Knit 2 rows for each day, one color for the highest temp and one for the lowest and carrying a fluffy yarn for snow, a metallic for rain and beads placed for hail.

1st clue will be released on New Year’s Eve!
